Up for auction is my 1966 Impala SS.When I bought this car back in 2006 she had just 60561 actual miles.I purchased it from the nephew of the original owners who inherited it at their passing.This Impala SS was purchased new from Emrick Chevrolet here in Richmond,Va.resided in Charlottesville Va.and is now back in Richmond.It has been kept in a garage or pole barn since new.In the 7 1/2 years I have owned her she has also been garage kept.In that time I have added a few upgrades (all bolt on) to make it more reliable and driver friendly.These include but are not limited to the following; HEI distributor,"The Right Stuff " Power brake up grade with new booster,master cylinder and proportioning valve,front spindles and discs,rotors and pads,all new brake lines,and a rebuild of the rear drums with wheel cylinders and shoes.I topped her off with synthetic brake fluid which doesn't attract moisture.She will "stop on a dime".I also installed a new fuel tank and sending unit,new fuel lines and fuel pump,and I replaced the original Quadrajet with a new Edlebrock 600 cfm carb for reliability.She has a new radiator and water pump.I installed air shocks on the back(the schraeder is under the liscense plate) and most all of the rubber up front has been replaced.I also replaced the stock exhaust with great sounding duals that complement the V-8.All of this has been done during the 6,000 miles I have driven her.This Impala SS is powered by the original numbers matching 327 V-8 and Powerglide transmission(which was serviced with new filter and fluid).She shifts extremely smooth,Runs great,and handles like it should.I installed a set of vintage style slotted mags wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A's.I also have kept all the original parts I removed with the exception of the exhaust,tank and lines and rubber.these parts will go with the car at sale if wanted by the new owner.
You'll notice I have not mentioned the interior.This Impala has the original interior she rolled off the line with.The headliner is excellent with no rips,tears or discoloration.The carpet is faded in spots but is not overly worn.Even under the mats it looks good.The rubber heel pad as well as the pedal rubber and chrome show only slight wear.You see in one of the pix one of the original build sheets under the carpet by the drivers seat.I have another one that came from under the back seat that is in much better shape.Also notice the seat belt retractors that still roll up the original seat belts.The center console still retains its color matching carpet liner and both inside and outside courtesy lights work.The back seat looks great and door and side panels are in great shape as well.The only place that is in need of repair is the front bucket seats.The passenger seat looks good but the bottom portion of the driver seat vinyl is split.These original style covers are readily available from many aftermarket suppliers(OPGI,Impala Bobs,Ecklers etc.)The dash pad has two thin cracks that run from the speaker area toward the windshield.They are not unsightly and do not detract from the original patina of the interior.The instument panel is very nice and the green"cold"light still stays on until the engine has warmed up.The radio lights up when on but no sound comes out.With regular driving the clock will even run when it wants to.This Impala has very nice chrome that runs around the interior roofline and glass.Classy.All new roofline and door weatherstrip.A very nice all original interior.
This Impala retains all its original sheetmetal positioned exactly as it was from new.It has never had any rust repair.I stripped the original Wimbleton white paint down to the metal and had it basecoat/clearcoated in GM Arrival blue metallic.The trunk is excellent with the original splatterpaint intact.This is an extremely nice example of an unmolested,well cared for Impala SS.If you want a car you can hop in and drive with no worries this may be for you.I don't drive her enough to justify keeping her and she really needs to be driven and enjoyed by someone who has the time.Bid to Buy and if you have 0 feedback please email me before you bid.Thanks.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
